he's focused on winning florida. what's the senator telling florida voters tonight? >> reporter: well, first let me just talk about that "sun sentinel" article. it was really stinging. the editorial basically saying rubio, no experience. he's done little but run for office. not the kind thing you want to hear when addressing your rally supporters out here today. when he started out here in tampa, when he spoke to the crowd he said, look. this is all going to come down to florida. at which the crowd erupted. they know what's at stake here. this is do or die for rubio. this is a state that he must win if he has any hope at all of moving forward. so what he did tonight anderson, basically staying on message. some of the same things we've heard before. i'm the one that can unite the party. trump is a fraud. a vote for kasich and a vote for cruz is basically a vote for trump. all this now, anderson, as there are increasing calls for him to drop out of this race. >> trump started running an attack ad today against rubio. trump has been saying he should drop out of the race

there is the southern florida and then a northern florida. and both of them vote completely different. southern florida tends to be more moderate and northern and central florida -- well, lake okeechobee upwards very much to the right. very radical. marco rubio won that in 2010, because he had frankly a lot of the same talking points that trump has today. those talking points have changed for marco rubio. so those northern floridans are disilutioned with marco rubioo at this time. he ran on the arizona style bill. he ran on a lot of things trump is saying right now. anti immigration, those people voted for him. he didn't come through. he turned on them. and so they're extremely disilutionlutioned with him. i don't see him taking northern florida. >> brendan, i want to turn back to donald trump and talk about what we have been seeing at recent protests, what we witnessed yesterday, interrupting trump several times during a rally. this one from new orleans last night. take a look. >> oh, no. not another one of these -- get out of here! get out!

, try to win in florida.with third place now in some of the surveys suggests -- >> rubio is? >> yeah, that the bottom is falling out. if you can't do it in your own backyard, why on earth do you think you can do it anywhere else? >> this is very important for marco, his own home state, whether he finished first or second, he doesn't want to first third. he wants to finish at the top. he's 45 years old. he'll have a narrative moving forward. that needs to be a good one as to how he almost made it. in our party, the history is you get the nomination your second time around. he has to play for a strong finish so he has a narrative for 2020 or 200024. >> and there's interest in him in 2018 if he wants to run for governor. i said, look, if he loses do you think he's viable in two years? sure, we'll support him. >> is that something he's even considered or talked about in the past? >> he shouldn't. you're a player in the 2016 sweepstakes. you have to give it all it takes. you can't talk about the future. you have t

it about florida? you mentioned florida delivering. so far historically florida has never delivered a presidential candidate. why is that? candidates but like general brush and rubio, they never got very far, and looked as if rubio and bush got farther than any of them, and part of it is that florida is a relatively new state, certainly compared to massachusetts. it doesn't have the same legacy. but florida is still the ultra battleground state. and the fact that you had so many in the race, not just bush and rubio, don't forget that donald trump the frontrunner is a part-time resident of florida. you also had mike huckabee and florida. so that speaks to the clout and the importance of florida. and just the confluence of odd circumstances, just made it such that it just did not pan out for rubio and for bush. >> what do you think will happen with jeb bush? with politics. i think this year did him in. he said that he has other fun things that he can do. he literally said that. and i think that jeb bush
